Most of the characters in this one return from the first one but the diverse representation improves a bit. We see slightly more explicit queer relationships among secondary characters. A few new characters are described as more explicitly analogous to Black racial identities in our world. For example brown or dark brown skin instead of tan; tightly coiled hair, and so forth. (Side note: Does anyone else find it weird that the River Queen’s Daughter does not have a name???)
The spice elevated over the last one. Nowhere near the best in the ACOTAR series but there is more than the last book in this series. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Overall I mostly enjoyed it though it dragged at times and at other times seemed unnecessarily complicated. The ending redeems it. I cried during some of the final 25%. I’m excited to see where the next one goes.
